Description
The Adtemp Thermometer Sheaths are the disposable barrier between one patient and the next, a non-sterile sheath that keeps a digital stick thermometer clean through oral and rectal use. They are designed for ADC thermometers and fit most comparably sized digital sticks, so one stocked cover serves the whole drawer.
- Disposable barrier – Single-use sheaths help eliminate cross contamination between patients.
- Easy application – The sheaths go on quickly and stay put through the reading.
- Oral and rectal use – Suitable for both measurement sites on digital stick thermometers.
- Two box sizes – Stock the 50-count box for light use or the 100-count box for busy units.
The Consumable That Makes Stick Thermometry Hygienic
These thermometer sheaths slip over the probe of a digital stick thermometer to form a fresh barrier for every reading. The non-sterile, disposable design removes the cleaning step and the cross-contamination question that comes with it. They are cost effective enough for universal use, which is exactly how barrier precautions are supposed to work. Compatibility covers ADC digital thermometers and most comparably sized sticks from other makers. Clinics, schools, and home caregivers who share one thermometer across people keep readings hygienic without a second thought.

Why Choose This Thermometer Sheath
A shared thermometer without a barrier is a policy problem waiting for an auditor, and cleaning probes between patients is the step that gets skipped under pressure. Sheaths priced for universal use make the safe behavior the default behavior. Stocking both box sizes keeps the supply matched to each unit's actual volume.
- Hygiene by default – A fresh barrier per reading ends the shared-probe question.
- No cleaning delay – Readings turn around immediately, with no probe wipe-down between patients.
- Drawer-wide fit – One sheath style covers ADC sticks and most comparable digital thermometers.
- Volume-matched boxes – Fifty-count and hundred-count boxes fit light and heavy use alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which thermometers do these fit?
They are designed for use with ADC digital thermometers and fit most comparably sized digital sticks. If your thermometer takes standard probe covers, these are the matching format.
Can they be used for rectal readings?
Yes, the sheaths are suitable for both oral and rectal use. Use a fresh sheath for every reading and dispose of it afterward.
Are the sheaths sterile?
No, they are non-sterile disposables, which is the standard format for thermometer probe barriers. Their protection comes from single use, not sterility.
Which box size should I choose?
The 100-count box suits units taking temperatures all day, while the 50-count box fits home and light clinic use. Both contain the same sheaths.
How do they reduce contamination risk?
Each reading gets a new barrier between the probe and the patient, and the used sheath is discarded. That single-use design helps eliminate cross contamination between patients.
